De Renzo, D J

Technological information based on government-sponsored studies is presented on the biosynthesis of methane from organic waste materials. The topics discussed are sources of waste materials for bioconversion, bioconversion mechanisms, bioconversion of solid waste and sewage sludge, urban trash methanation, animal waste digestion, industrial waste treatments, and methane from energy crops. Each chapter is provided with bibliographic reference material. The government reports used in assembling the information are tabulated and their accessibility given. (JSR)
